International Reggae Day in the capital of Jamaica is a must-see event for all fans of the Caribbean genre.

Jamaica lives and breathes for its reggae; it bursts from street cafes and intermingles with radio announcements at airports.

Therefore it is quite fitting for the day of reggae to be held at the home of the music and the father of the genre ? Bob Marley.

Although it has become a cliche for anything related to the Caribbean island to have Marley's face emblazoned upon it, the locals really do love his music.

A generation of local stars have risen from the base that he created, not to mention the international success of his own family members.

This festival is held in Kingston and features a line-up of local artists and guest performers, many of which are hugely successful.

Kingston is located in the south-east of the island and has a beautiful bay protected by a natural incline of sand.
